the left side panel q and right side panel w
have a notch in the bottom front corner.
The side panels also have a groove in the rear to
receive the back panel r.
1. Install door mounts.
Skip this step if doors will not be installed.
a. Per each compartment, lay the panels at.
For a left side door hinge, lay with the left surface up.
For a right side door hinge, lay with the right surface up.
b. See Detail 3A. Install door hinge mounts.
Use a plastic mallet to pound 8-32 insert nuts t into
the holes (three per hinge mount) located toward the
front edge of each panel.
2. See Detail 3E (Cabinets 12, 15 and 67 only).
There are holes in each side panel that will be used later
for shelf support bar screws (two per each shelf support bar
end in each side panel).
Use a plastic mallet to pound 1/4-20 insert nuts 2) into
these holes.
Note: Panels can be large and dicult to keep aligned
when attaching together with screws.
To assist, "peg" the panels rst by inserting wood
dowels to t snugly into 5/16"-diameter holes in
the panels. They may need to be tapped into place.
3. Insert wood dowels i into:
• The left and right side edges of the top panel o
• the backside of the bottom front stretcher panel 1).
• The top of the top front stretcher panel 1(.
Panel Assembly
1. Turn the left and right side panels qand w on edge, with
the front edges down. With wood dowels i, peg the side
panels to the top panel o.
Attach the side panels to the side edges of the top panel o
with 7 x 50 mm hex socket screws 1!.
2. Attach the back panel r.
a. See Detail 3B. The bottom stretcher panel overlaps
the bottom edge of the back panel.
b. With the three rear stretcher panels facing up, slide the
back panel into the groove on the side and top panels.
3. Attach the sides of the rear stretcher panels to both side
panels, using 7 x 50 mm hex socket screws 1!.
4. Turn the cabinet assembly to face the front edges up.

notch in the side panels
.
6. Attach top front stretcher panel.
a. Place the top front stretcher panel 1( underneath the
top panel and between the side panels.

side panels, using 7 x 50 mm hex socket screws 1!.
7. Check that the cabinet assembly is square and tighten all
screws.
Attach Glides and Levelers
1. See Detail 3C. Tack glides help protect corners and edges
while moving the cabinet into place.
Push or hammer plastic tack glides
1@
into the bottom edge of
the side and any center panels, about 2" from the corners.
2. Attach leveler brackets.
a.
See Detail 3D. Attach leveler brackets 1# to the inside
of all four corners of the cabinet using #8 x 5/8" pan
head screws 1$. The leveler brackets attach to the
inside of both side panels and to the front or rear
stretcher panels.
b. After the leveler brackets are attached, screw the
levelers in so the plastic glides extend slightly further
than the bottom of the levelers.
Install Upper Shelves
1. Tip the assembled cabinet upright.
2. Recheck that the cabinet is square.
3. Recheck and tighten all hex-socket screws.
4. See Detail 3E. If doors will be installed, attach a bumper
assembly 2! To the center two holes under the front shelf
support bar using 1/4-20 x 1.77" Machine screws 6) and
1/4-20 hex nuts 2@.
• For Double Full-Length Doors:

installed in "Preassembly Step 2".
See Detail 3G
(Adjustable Height Shelf Cabinets 76 and 83 only).
Starting at the top of the cabinet, f
lip the shelf pin

2. Level the cabinet using a 1/4" socket or wrench on the
leveler brackets. See "Leveling Cabinets" on page 25.
3. Install the Lower Shelf.
a. See Detail 3F. Using two 1/4-20 x 5/8" button head
screws 2# on each side, attach shelf support bars
6#
